Illinois Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon and her husband, Perry Knop, will participate in Ride for AIDS Chicago (RFAC), which Test Positive Aware Network (TPAN) produces. This 200-mile journey, which will take place July 9-10, will raise awareness and funds for organizations that provide services to those living with HIV/AIDS in the Chicago area.
The ride has registered more than 350 riders and crew members and has raised more than $250,000. Producers say the grand total will far exceed that amount by July 9.
Opening and closing ceremonies will take place on the east lawn of Northwestern University’s Norris University Center in Evanston, rain or shine.
